Close Your Eyes

You smile, like you’ve always done.
On top of the world
As if this is just another race to run.
You’re crazily in love,
But with what I’m not so sure,
Whether it be the glory or the money
The pride or the fight,
I just wish you’d give it all up,
Give me a year to remember
Why it is I’ll never give up on you.
Give me a year to remember
Why I always tried not to hate December…
For you.

Close your eyes,
It kills me to look inside them.
Keep breathing,
Because I don’t know what I’d do if you didn’t.
Keep your eyes tightly shut;
I can’t look into them.
Because I’m afraid to see…
You walking away from me.

You’ll lie about it till the sun comes up.
Trying to teach me
That it doesn’t matter who you are.
It’s all about the risks you’re willing to take
But you make me cry
With your security in life.

Your content,
With living your life in the present.
Don’t have to think,
About the future because
You can’t look too far ahead.
You keep above the water,
Like you don’t know it’s flooding in.
You’re swimming even better
Than I knew you could.
But it folds on me like,
All the cards hit the table.
But I’ll never tell you how I feel about it.
‘Cause you don’t need another fight…
About it.

Don’t look me in the eye,
I fall apart every time.
Don’t keep saying that you’ll
Be fine.
Because your lies lack subtlety…
Substance and truth. So,

Close your eyes,
It kills me to look inside them.
Keep breathing,
Because I don’t know what I’d do if you didn’t.
Keep your eyes tightly shut;
I can’t look into them.
Because I’m afraid to see…
You walking away from me,

‘Cause you’re walking away from me.

And I wont keep pretending
That life will be fine in the ending,
Because even when the sun comes up
And the birds are singing,
I have this gut feeling;
That when everything comes crashing down
You wont be around.

Close your eyes,
It kills me to look inside them.
Keep breathing,
Because I don’t know what I’d do if you didn’t.
Keep your eyes tightly shut;
I can’t look into them.
Because I’m afraid to see…
You walking away from me,
